Ydrava

Ydrava is a fictional city and port on the southern coast of the continent of Valara, appearing in fantasy literature and role-playing campaigns.

Ydrava sits at the mouth of the Serin River, sheltered by limestone cliffs and a natural harbor. The city is commonly described as home to about 85,000 residents and experiences a temperate, maritime climate with mild winters and humid summers.

Ydrava developed as a trading town in the early medieval era, expanding through maritime commerce and becoming a regional center. It played a role in various regional conflicts and later became part of the Valaran Union in the modern period.

Its economy centers on shipping, fishing, shipbuilding, and trade in regional goods. The port handles cargo, ferries to nearby islands, and serves as a hub for markets across Valara. Tourism focused on coastal architecture and markets also contributes.

The city is governed by a council and a mayor, within the broader framework of the Valaran Union. Cultural life emphasizes seafaring traditions, with a spring sea festival and culinary traditions based on seafood and herbs.
